Rawai sits on the southern tip of Phuket, a quieter area than the beach resorts of the west coast, where village life, small boats and the sea set the pace. The villas are reached by road from the rest of the island, and the evenings here are quieter than in Patong, the island's best-known nightlife area.

Chalong Beach is 1.5 km away, and the Big Buddha, a large white statue on a hilltop, is 2.2 km away. Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's most important Buddhist temples, is 3.5 km away, and Patong Beach is 8.8 km away. Phuket International Airport is 32.8 km away, a drive across the island by road. A clinic, Thiti Clinic, is close by.

A good day here starts at the Big Buddha and Wat Chalong, then continues to Kata and Karon beaches, which are reached by road. Nai Harn Beach is a little further away. Visitors who want a quiet day can spend it by the outdoor pool at the property. In the evening the night market nearby offers street food and stalls. Chalong Pier is the departure point for many boat trips to the islands around Phuket, and the sea can be rough in the rainy months, which can delay boat departures.
